Cole County man charged with second-degree rape

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Cole County man was charged over the weekend with second-degree rape.

Charles Jacobs Jr., 41, of Henley, is being held at the Cole County Jail without bond. A court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says the alleged victim accused Jacobs of raping her Friday morning at her residence. The statement claims the alleged victim told him she did not want to have sex, but invited him to her residence. The victim accused Jacobs of dragging her to the bedroom and assaulting her, the statement says.

Text messages afterwards allegedly showed Jacobs acknowledge intercourse occurred where the victim said “no,” court documents say.

Jacobs was interviewed by law enforcement and claimed the victim told him “if you don’t care that I’m sweaty,” and interpreted it as consent, the statement says. The woman was interviewed by police against and claimed she did say that to discourage intercourse from happening, the statement says.

She then alleged Jacobs forced himself on her and “the sex lasted only a few seconds,” the statement says.
